In cases when detail is not desired, Network Analyzer makes it easier to understand the workings of a complex wireless protocol. This enables the developer to compare how well different radios in the network heard the same transmission. The Network Analyzer also enables capture from multiple sources simultaneously into the same log file without falsely duplicating packets. With SSv5, any PTI-enabled Silicon Labs platform can record the radio activity regardless of the application firmware that is being used, so there’s no need to have a dedicated sniffer device installed to catch the traffic.
More than simply a packet sniffer, the Network Analyzer works with the data sniffer interface on the Silicon Labs wireless chips to provide direct feedback from the baseband radio of each device, allowing any supported radio to report detailed packet transmission and reception data, such as timestamps, link quality (or LQI), receive sensitivity (or RSSI), and CRC pass/fail results, all without any software overhead. This tool captures a trace of wireless network activity that can be examined in detail live or at a later time. Simplicity Studio® 5 (SSv5)'s Network Analyzer enables debugging of complex wireless systems.
